REUUUUUUUNION
Once again the Green Family descended on the mountains of central Utah at the Annual Green Reunion. Although it rained the second half it was a great weekend to be had by all. There was representation from 4 generations there. Grandpa Joe and Grandma Carrie would be proud. Here's Brody, Erin and their littlest one, Hailee.
Most of the time was spent eating and catching up, with intermittent bouts of activity. Activities included skeet shoot, swimming and fishing in the pond, games, 4-wheeling, dutch oven cookoff and a late night movie in the rain.....
As our kids get older we find ourselves aligning ourselves with different institutions of higher ed. Because there were opening football games at the U and BYU, which are huge rivals, many were wearing their school colors which caused a bit of contention.
Little did the "Y" and "U" fans know, there was a third contender. As the rain started out came all of the USU sweatshirts. Go Aggies!
We are so lucky to have such a great family with Dad as the head and patriarch. Katie did make Grandpa take of his BYU hat for the picture.
It's a great time and usually the only time that we are able to gather together each year. It's nice for cousins to have some fun and get to know each other better. We're hoping they'll continue on with the traditions they've grown up with.
Little one's keep us all young. They are the life of the party. What could be better than walking the plank around the firepit.
It's also amazing how comfortable they are with "new" playmates. They just jump in and have a great time. Maybe we should learn from them.
Not only do we get to renew old acquaintances but we just get to make stronger bonds with our own. Jeannette and Jolene and kids.
One of the highlights of the whole reunion was Julie and Paul's dutch oven dinner on Sunday afternoon. I have to say it was some of the best I've had. How many pieces of chicken can one person eat?
Julie tackled the prepartation and cooking with expertise. Julie and Paul cook professionally throughout the year and we got to reap the reward.
The reunion wouldn't be tradition without Cloyd and Laurel's scones and honeybutter. Ya know what I'm talking about.
Kerri and her girls just hanging out. They're all growing up. Life is good.
What better way to end than with a picture of two of our best supporters and examples, Van and Dad. Cheers to the family. Unitl next year.
